Jewish man among first charged in pro-Palestinian slogan crackdown that reminds some of 1970s Queensland Stephen Heydt says he spoke in a custom-made T-shirt and was ‘charged with two offences: one for the shirt, one for the chanting’

By silencing dissent & suppressing civil liberties, the Crisafulli Govt takes us back to the dark days of the corrupt former Qld premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Legislation like this lays the foundation for the crime & corruption that put many of that lot in in jail. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

‘What is real?’: Global markets confounded US President Donald Trump’s postponement of a 48-hour deadline he’d imposed on Iran to “fully open” the Strait of Hormuz was timed perfectly, whether by happenstance or design, to coincide with the start of the trading week.

How do you MAGA schmucks feel now about the guy you put in the White House making a motza insider trading while you struggle to make ends meet? Suck it up because there'll be another three years of this.

It's the same all around the world. If these multi-billion dollar companies paid their fair share of tax, then there would be no where near the heavy reliance on taxing income. I don't know about 'not paying a dime' as Warren Buffet says, but everybody would sure pay a hell of a lot less.

Come on now. Mateus Rose was the more expensive import!! We could only afford Spritzig Rose.

Who reads the papers? - Yes, Prime Minister - BBC comedy YouTube video by BBC Studios

An oldie but a goodie on who reads what paper. Never fails to make me laugh.

Hear! Hear!

Bit like data and datum, and there are more. Gone are the days when the BBC and the ABC were the gold standard. These days anything goes.

That is so but Lidia Thorpe and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price have done little to further the cause of First Nations people in this country. These two self-focused individuals along with Warren Mundine, by their opposition to the Voice, set back the plight of our First Nations people several decades.

The world faces a grim reality, even if Trump exists in a different one The world is stuck watching a performative series of announcements about meetings that could, may, will happen, involving a president not dealing with the reality that he is in a weak and confused bar...

Before the last election Republicans raised questions about Biden’s age and rightly so. But what they should have been more concerned about was Trump's mental capacity. Many have died as a result of having an unstable person in the Oval Office. Batshit crazy some say!! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Pete Hegseth References Bible—But Quotes Violent ‘Pulp Fiction’ Speech Hegseth’s prayer closely resembled one delivered by Samuel L. Jackson in “Pulp Fiction.”

As they say, you can't make this stuff up. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth quoted almost word-for-word a violent prayer used in Quentin Tarantino’s cult classic “Pulp Fiction” believing it was from the Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17. Fools, all of them!!! #TrumpCircus www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

The End of Israel: The Ultimate Evidence You won’t see this on the BBC or CNN

There's definitely a racial element in the wars Netanyahu likes to wage, as Richard Sanders points out. Palestinians, Iranians, it doesn't seem to matter. And it's not only Netanyahu! Note the interest in Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's plight. Naught, nada, nix, zip. www.doubledown.news/watch/2026/m...

How is a UK debt to Iran connected to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe? The UK has repaid money owed to Iran for a military deal never fulfilled.

The British Govt allowed Nazanin Zaghari-Radcliffe to suffer in Iranian jails for 6yrs because they wouldn't repay a £393.8m debt to the Iranians. They did eventually repay that amount and Nazanin was released. Bear in mind though that £393.8m equals close to $4b AUD today!! bbc.com/news/world-5...

Yes, and as a result, AOC will not be the last to call Donald Trump a rapist, not by a longshot. Good one, AOC.

Just when Donald thought his war with Iran had successfully drowned out the Epstein story, Melania puts it back in the news. Don't think this was any accident; it was quite deliberate. Maybe the First Lady is not as silly as she seems. www.msn.com/en-au/news/a...

So true. So bloody true.

Trump fires Pam Bondi as attorney general Trump has been increasingly frustrated with Bondi in recent days, sources told NBC News.

Trump's firing Bondi does not prevent her from testifying before the Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein Files. In fact firing her may be a big mistake. Bondi knows what the Epstein Files say about Trump BEFORE the redactions and she'll be testifying under oath.

Can this be true? Yeah? Even just a little bit true? If so, good night nurse.

The Zionist lobby is all powerful. Not only does it have the Albanese Government in its control, it also has, it seems, the National Press Club. God help us all!!

Top marginal tax rates in Oz:
1945: 92.5%
1951: 75%
1970: 67%
1985: 60%
1987: 49%
1990: 47%
2014: 49%
2024: 45%
Neo-liberalism, embraced by both sides of politics, has seen the top marginal tax rate decrease over the last 80 years. We've looked after our wealthy. Are we better off? Don't think so.

The Zionist lobby is all powerful. Not only does it have the Albanese Government in its control, it also has, it seems, the National Press Club. Heaven help us all!!

Seriously?? Try pulling the other one.

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Adam Douglas Thompson.

Ex-CIA Chief Blasts Trump as ‘Pathological Liar,’ Says ‘I Trust Iran More’ John Brennan criticizes Trump’s leadership as protests grow and tensions with Iran escalate, warning of deeper conflict risks.

You know things are bad in the US when a former CIA Director, John Brennan, sharply criticizes US President Donald Trump, calling him a “pathological liar,” “incompetent,” and “deeply corrupt,” as protests under the “No Kings” banner continue across the country.

When Donald Trump dies I won't be just glad, I'll be euphoric!! Innocent people won't be dying in their tens of thousands in the Middle East, the poor & disadvantaged won't be suffering in the US, and support for pedophiles & war criminals like Netanyahu will stop. Yippee!!!

The Olympic stadium in Brisbane's Victoria Park has been revealed. Concerns are growing about its impact The site of the proposed stadium is one of deep significance for the local Aboriginal people.

I've seen some dumb decisions but not one goes close to the Crisafulli Govt's plan to demolish(!!!) the Gabba stadium (where they spent around $50m in an upgrade) and to build a new stadium at Vic Park($3.8b). Didn't he say he wouldn't do this before the last election? www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article...

This is my 700th post on Bluesky!! So good to get away from X although I do miss the interaction.

Spain permanently withdraws ambassador as rift with Israel deepens Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday as a ​diplomatic standoff worsened between the two countries ‌over Spain's opposition to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

Spain has broken diplomatic ties with Israel. Madrid has just recalled its ambassador and is planning to close its embassy in Tel Aviv. Good on Spain. Australia should be doing the same. But sadly it won't as the Zionist lobby has PM Anthony Albanese by the balls.
